This change adds support for not enabling carrier during TUNSETIFF interface creation by specifying the IFF_NO_CARRIER flag. Our tests make heavy use of tun interfaces. In some scenarios, the test process creates the interface but another process brings it up after the interface is discovered via netlink notification. In that case, it is not possible to create a tun/tap interface with carrier off without it racing against the bring up. Immediately setting carrier off via TUNSETCARRIER is still too late.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
